Frequently asked questions
Febutaz 40 before or after food?
Either – febuxostat works the same with or without food. Take it at the same time every day and drink plenty of water.
Febutaz 40 vs Zyloric (allopurinol) – which is better for gout?
Allopurinol is the usual first choice. Febuxostat is used when allopurinol causes rash or does not lower uric acid enough, or in kidney disease. It is linked with more heart risk in people with existing heart disease, so the choice is your doctor's.
Why is my gout flaring after starting Zurig 40?
As uric acid drops, crystals in the joints dissolve and can trigger attacks for the first few months. Keep taking febuxostat and use the colchicine or painkiller your doctor prescribed.
Can I take Febutaz 40 with alcohol?
Keep alcohol minimal. Beer and spirits raise uric acid and bring on attacks, and alcohol adds to the strain on the liver.
